Bring road-ready detail to your stitching with this elegant semi truck and tanker design, drawn in a realistic style that gives the whole vehicle proper presence. The cab is packed with recognisable features, from the front grille, headlights and windshield to the side mirrors, fenders and upright exhaust stacks, while the tanker trailer and line of wheels give it the long, purposeful look drivers and truck enthusiasts will appreciate. With 10 thread colours in teal, white, grey, black, blue and touches of orange, it has enough contrast to read clearly without losing that polished, worked-metal feel.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it suits fabrics with some body best, such as denim jackets, canvas totes, workshop aprons and sturdy sweatshirts. It also works well on the back of a mechanic's shirt, the front of a gear bag or a gift for someone who lives for big rigs and long-haul transport. The realistic shaping and layered stitching help the truck hold its character at different sizes, so the details still feel deliberate rather than fussy.
